About Amanda

Amanda Card BA MPP

My professional experience includes 20 years in the not-for-profit sector, working in a variety of social service roles, including mental health and wellness support. I am currently completing my Master of Counselling degree with City University. My previous degrees provide a background in international development, history, and public policy.

My areas of focus include working through times of life transitions such as shifts in career, relationships, family, home, health, or identity, as well as the impacts of trauma, grief, and stress. I am keen to work with anyone wanting to explore how to move towards greater wellbeing. I have an interest in men’s mental health, as well as experience working with Indigenous communities and newcomers.

Amanda's Approach

The most impactful part of counselling starts with the connection between counsellor and client, and I aim to build trust and respect by offering a non-judgemental space. It’s a great privilege as a counsellor to get to hear what is important to each individual and to reflect on these together. While there are many aspects of life beyond our personal control, I believe in working collaboratively to find ways that can help people feel more connected to what matters to them.

I have additional training in:

Narrative Therapy Foundations
Somatic Experiencing (in progress)
Sanyas Indigenous Cultural Safety – Mental Health (in progress)
